[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 560987, member: 9240"] Variety of feeders (millet, sunflower, thistle), variety of foods & suet (great for woodpeckers), bushes and some form of thicket if you want smaller birds (they don't like being in the open too long), and water-water-water. We have one bird bath but have repurposed old frying pans along the rock wall in the back, so we have 6 or 7 sources of water for them. Keep everything filled and then just wait - once they know what's there they'll learn to show up. As mentioned, check with local wildlife group sites to see what birds and critters are in the area and get seed that attracts them. There [B][I]is[/I][/B] a difference in brands. We used to get whatever millet was cheapest, but when Tractor Supply opened up nearby we tried the Royal Wing brand that they carry and were amazed at some of the birds we started getting that we hadn't gotten before with the [I]same feeders in the same spots for 10 years[/I].
